I get it. Lisod gyud mag-taas ug presyo if youโ€™re just starting out.

The most common fear? Basi walay mupalit. Mahadlok ta nga ma-turn off ang customers, or worse, walay mosuway sa imong product.

But hereโ€™s what I learned the hard way...

โœจ Itโ€™s okay to start with a lower price.

Itโ€™s not about selling yourself short. Sometimes you need to let people try your food first. Sacrifice gamay para maka-build ka og reach and trust. You want as many people as possible to taste what you offer.

Once naa na kay regulars and get more feedback, then you slowly adjust. Build up your reputation and let your product prove its worth.

Pricing up becomes easier when people know you deliver quality.

BONUS TIP: Always do your research.

Check out similar products in your market. Study what works, what doesnโ€™t, and why. Know your costings, ayaw kalimti ang ginansya.

At the end of the day, itโ€™s a journey.

You can always increase your price later, especially if you focus on building value and connection with your customers. Mabawi ra lagi na as you grow.

Rooting for your success. Dili lalim, pero kaya ra!

1) Start with your menu.

Ask yourself: โ€œUnsa ang pinaka-lami nga kaya nako lutoon?โ€

Could be Italian, Filipino, Japanese, or simple Lugawan. Something you cook best.

2) Know your market.

Kinsa imong gusto serbisyohan? Millennials, Gen Z, barkada, or families? Mao ni mag-guide sa imong pricing ug style.

3) Test the waters.

Join food bazaars, try pop-ups, or simply offer to friends online.

Pwede ka mag-post: โ€œ6 boxes available this Friday, kinsa ganahan?โ€ Kung dili halinon, ayawโ€™g ka-guol. Lesson learned, adjust dayon.

Ayaw pagdali sa mga big investments. Grow as you learn muna.

Launch only when you see that your food (after pila ka improvements) gets friends and even strangers come back for more.

If you have questions, comment lang. Excited ko para ninyo!

Seven years of Asian Cow! Who wouldโ€™ve thought?

A lot of whatโ€™s on our menu came from cravings and inspirations I had during my travels.

Every plate tells a story, from busy Bangkok streets to traditional spots sa Japan, all the way to finding hidden gems in Korea.

Now, those flavors have found a home here.

Daghang salamat to everyone whoโ€™s been part of this adventure. Those who brought their families, invited friends, or simply tried something new.

Special thanks to my mentors for their wisdom, my hardworking team, my family for their support, and syempre, kay Lord for the guidance.

Seven years down, daghan pa ko'g gusto ipa-tilaw ninyo. And weโ€™re just getting started.

Happy 7th, Asian Cow! ๐Ÿฎโœจ

As a business, klaro na sumakses na jud ka basta managhan na imong suki haha

This is exactly the reason why I notice when regulars stop coming.

Mu-aksyon taโ€™g kaguol. Their reason can be as personal as basi diay ni-migrate na sila. Basi simbako nasakit. Basi nilahi na ilang taste.

I canโ€™t control those things. Life goes on.

Pero, as an entrepreneur, isa sa goal dapat nimo is to create as many suki as possible.

Regulars are valuable sa imong business. It means they love your food or brand! Ug kasagaran they bring in new customers. No need ug gasto sa marketing!

Now that you know how important they areโ€ฆ

1) Your product has to live up to expectations.

Lami kaayo tan-awon sa social media, pero in person, layo ra sa tinuod.

Iโ€™m not saying you should be perfect. But at least set a standard.

First impressions often last. Disappoint your customer one time, and it will be hard to change their minds.

Remember: Unhappy customers rarely come back.

2) Make them feel important.

This is where good and fast service comes in.

Itโ€™s not only about the food that make restaurants popular. Itโ€™s also about the experience.

Mao nang gina make sure jud nako nga trained akoa staff to make the best customer recommendations.

Your servers also should have initiative. Di na muhulat nga mangutana pa ang customer.

Things like refilling service water, giving extra tissue, and offering a baby seat should be done automatically.

Who doesnโ€™t want to come back to a place where theyโ€™re treated like royalty, di ba?

3) Consistency.

Mao ning pinaka-importante sa tanan.

Regular customers happen when youโ€™re consistently giving them the same quality food and experience.

Follow my first and second advice, and make sure to repeat them without fail.

Ikaw? Naa kaโ€™y favorite restaurant nga imong gina-balik balikan?

RECIPE: Make 1 Liter of Cold Brew that lasts all week!

No fancy gear. No barista skills needed. Do this on a Sunday, and youโ€™ll have ready-made coffee thatโ€™s better than 3-in-1 ๐Ÿคญ

๐Ÿ“ YOUโ€™LL NEED:

- 100g coarse ground coffee (Ratio: 1g coffee bean = 10g water)

- 1L clean pitcher

- 1L cold water

- Strainer (pwede cheesecloth or coffee filter)

โ˜• HOW TO MAKE:

1. Grind your coffee beans to a coarse grind. Kung wa kay grinder, pre-ground coffee works.

2. Mix coffee and water in your pitcher. Stir gently.

3. Chill your mixture overnight (or up to 24 hours for a stronger brew)

4. After chilling, strain the coffee using your preferred strainer.

5. Pour over a glass full of ice, and enjoy your smooth cold brew ๐Ÿ˜Š

6. Store the rest in the fridge. Good for up to 1 week.

Now you have instant coffee nga dili โ€˜instantโ€™ ๐Ÿ˜‰ Depende sa imong mood, pwede ka mag-add flavor like milk, condensed, caramel, nutella, honey, etc. Ikaw bahala!

WHY I LOVE IT?
โœ… Tipid!

โœ… Dili acidic

โœ… Dili hassle, especially kung busy imong mornings

Try it! I doubt mubalik pa kaโ€™g 3-in-1.
